Adieu, my lovely Nancy
C D
Ten thousand times adieu
C G Em
I'll be thinking of my own true love
Am D C
I'll be thinking, dear, of you
G C D
Will you change a ring with me, my love?
C D
Will you change a ring with me?
C G Em
It will be a token of our love
Am D C
When I am far at sea
G C D
When I am far away from home
C D
And you know not where I am
C G Em
Love letters I will write to you
Am D C
From every foreign strand
G C D
When the farmer boys return at night
C D
They will tell their girls fine tales
C G Em
Of all that they've been doing
Am D C
All day out in the fields
G C D
Of the wheat and hay that they cut down
G D
Sure it's all that they can do
C G Em
While we poor jolly, jolly hearts of oak
Am D C
Must plough the seas all through
G C D
And when we return again, my love
C D
To our own dear native shores
C G Em
Fine stories we will tell to you
Am D C
How we ploughed the oceans o'er
G C D
And we'll make the alehouses to ring
C D
And the taverns, they will roar
C G Em
And when our money is all gone
Am D C
Sure we'll go to sea for more
